The problem it solves

Keeping your team updated on newly assigned tasks means someone has to check the project system every morning and manually share what's new. That copy-pasting eats into time better spent planning the day. Without it, tasks can slip by unnoticed until it's too late to act on them.

Who it fits

Project managers, team leads, and consultants who need their team aligned on new tasks each morning.

How it works

  1. Each weekday morning at a set time, the system checks for newly assigned tasks
  2. It pulls the essential details for each task, including a direct link
  3. Each task is formatted into a clean, readable message
  4. The daily digest is posted to your team's Microsoft Teams channel
What you get

The day's tasks waiting in one message

Your team gets a clean summary of newly assigned tasks posted to Teams every morning before work begins.

What you get

A formatted daily task digest posted in Microsoft Teams.

What you need

A project management system with API access and a Microsoft Teams account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
